Big Girl in a Skinny World: Sheer Clothing Picks

Everywhere you turn lately, you can't seem to avoid catching a glimpse of unexpected skin or underthing! Nearly every celeb, socialite, and editor has been photographed in a fashionably skin- or lingerie-bearing number. While I won't be exposing my bra or rocking a sheer shirt anytime soon, I am loving this subtly sexy style—when done right, it's anything but skanky. My solution to wearing this trend in a plus-size friendly manner: Find pieces that have sheer elements or touches of lace. No need to bare it all. But if you do find a totally sheer top that works, simply layer it with a tank under. You'll achieve the same effect in a more modest way.
